Free solar energy for UK residents

How would you like free solar energy ?
Me too and if you live in the UK have a south facing unshaded roof then maybe you can get free solar panels .
This is how the scam sorry scheme works . The govt wanted to encourage solar energy in the UK ,land of rain and wind, so what it did was to put a tax on the electric consumption to provide a subsidy for among other things solar .
A number of companies looked at the amount of subsidy and realised that if you put solar panels on a roof and just added an inverter so as to connect with the grid then the cost plus a profit could be had without measuring the amounts of electric used either embedded or exported to the grid . In plain english they get the subsidy you get the electricity anything you do not use goes into the grid .
Unfortunetly I live in France and am unable to take advantage of this offer

This is one of the companies involved

I should add that I am not connected to this company apart from my folks in the UK are thinking of doing this and asked me to look into it and I thought it a good deal .

The problem with these schemes arise when you come to sell your house with many mortgage companies refusing to give loans on houses involved in rent a roof schemes. No mortgage No sale.

First thing I checked out and if you look on the web site most major UK lenders do not have an issue with it .
I think it will be like satalite dishes when they first went up everyone said oooo it will effect the sale of your house now its not an issue . As these things become more common I can see it becoming the norm .

Try telling that to the owners who cannot sell there houses and cannot get the rent a roof supplier to remove the solar panels.

Are you sure its because they have a roof panel ?
The housing market in the UK is very poor and full of people with unreasonable expectations of the value of their homes .

Why let a company make all the profit?
It makes so much more sense to buy your own system outright, find out what it could be worth to you with a free survey and full explanation of how it all works.

This assumes you can afford to buy the kit and deal with the paperwork and are able to fit it or pay someone to fit it . What if you cannot ?
